Purpose:

WebLab:

While technically WebLab is an interactive learning tool like the others used at BSC, it is significantly different in its operation to warrant its own category of learning tool. Even though BSC's development of online curriculum has evolved, the need for online student laboratory experiences was yet to be fulfilled. After all, how can students across the nation use the laboratory equipment on BSC's campus in North Dakota? WebLab was created to answer this question.

 

WebLab is a learning tool that allows online students to access and control laboratory equipment in remote locations by using the public Internet. By using standard process industry equipment, almost any laboratory can be refitted into a WebLab laboratory. Students will use the WebLab portal to access the laboratory, control the equipment, schedule laboratory time, and complete lessons, assignments, and even take examinations. Result data and student progress is reported to faculty as the students complete their laboratory work.

 

WebLab is a next-generation online instructional tool. While simulation is more than acceptable in most cases, WebLab brings not software models, but real equipment to students' fingertips anywhere in the world. The ultimate goal of BSC's interactive learning tools is to afford online students the same educational experiences of classroom students. WebLab brings BSC and our students one step closer to that goal.

Comments:

  • Simulations of various power production and control systems
  • Provides RWSL-like access to lab equipment through WebLab, but students don't see the actual equipment, just an animation.  There is evidence suggesting that allowing the student to see the actual equipment they are working with adds an element of realism and gives the student a sense of ownership for the data they collect.
  • This set of programs is focused on vocational studies dealing with power generation and transmisssion.
